Astrajet

Unfortunately not. There is no mention of any costs in the literature I have been sent other than the monthly fee for the FlexPlus account will remain at £13.

Nationwide have sent me couple of booklets regarding the switch to Aviva. One, entitled FlexPlus Travel Insurance Provider Change, gives details of the changes in cover from the original UK Insurance policy to the new Aviva policy. In this booklet on page2 under the heading Upgrades it states: "Age: You will no longer need to buy a separate upgrade to be covered beyond your 70th birthday. You will be covered automatically." There is no mention of an age limit under this Age heading!

I also applied for a second cruise yesterday (3.40pm) and received confirmation of addition of OBC this morning at 10.30am! Over two days quicker than my previous claim last week! So variable timescales but it's easy and it works - happy days.

Just heard from Stockperks that OBC has been applied to our July booking. Took three days, so not too bad. Going to apply for our October cruise now!

Best wishes to Mrs YP - hope the physio is able to help ease the pain.

Exactly the same here!

Whilst cruising on P&O Australia's Pacific Jewel in 2018, this towel art was on display in the atrium. Quite amazing.

Sounds perfect - have a wonderful time.

The Glass House is our favourite on board restaurant and I can honestly say all meals we have had there, both lunch & dinner, have been great. Last year on both our Aurora cruises we used the My Holiday page to book and it worked fine. The position of the restaurant on Britannia & Iona doesn't really bother us - too busy enjoying the food I guess!

Me too, with just the very occasional input! I also wish everyone a happy & healthy New Year and a speedy recovery to those unwell.

Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas and a happy & healthy New Year. This time of year brings a mixture of sadness to some and joy to others - we send our very best wishes to all. Reading your posts has been both interesting and informative, so thank you. Happy cruising to those on board now or in the future. We have a bit of a wait until we sail again (June and October, both P&O) but they are holidays we will both enjoy looking forward to next year.

Great news Phil. It's been almost two years since I had a hip replacement and it certainly gave me a new lease of life as it will do for you. An amazing operation that makes such a huge difference to one's lifestyle. Enjoy! Sandra

@yorkshirephil Delighted to hear that your recovery is going so well. Enjoy your new hip! Very best wishes - hope to see you both on another cruise. Sandra

Thank you @Selbourne for a very informative blog which I enjoyed reading. We are sailing on Ventura next year, the first time on her since 2015, so this was very helpful.

Wonderful news Phil - many congratulations to you both and to the proud parents. Hope the new hip is doing well. Best wishes, Sandra

Such sad news - we send you and your family our sincere condolences. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

That would be handy for bounding around the prom deck!

Welcome to the hipop club @yorkshirephil! Hope your recovery continues to progress well. I still can't believe the difference it has made - I just need the other hip doing now! Best wishes to you both.

It was Russell Robson.

Super to have met you & @SeaJaneon board. We are thoughly enjoying this cruise. Off to the Acropolis this afternoon - it's going to be very hot! Enjoy the rest of the cruise.

Excellent - see you there 🙂

Same here! Have a safe journey down and a great cruise - maybe see you on board! Enjoy!

Many congratulations @kalos - great news! Delighted for you all.

Welcome home! Good to hear that you had a great time and look forward to reading your report. We did a similar cruise on Aurora a few weeks ago and totally agree with your comments above. Back on her in October - can't wait!

Hubby says it was ok up on 18 but you are indeed open to the elements! I didn't venture up there, so can't comment 😉! Enjoy the sailaways & walks on Aurora next month - I'll keep an eye on Herts whilst you're away!
